As we move on into a new year we wanted to give you a bit of insight into progress on Hygeia Automotive, our second stretch goal for Cleaning Crew’s launch. With miniature development for Slip Hazard fully underway, we thought we'd give you some first impressions of how vehicles in Automotive might appear!
Our spotlight for this update is the armoured hulk at the heart of Hygeia's development core, a machine designed to be the fear of saboteurs, thieves and all other anti-corporate disruptors:
Born from an aggressive takeover of various planetary shale ventures and upgraded with new armour plating and the fearsome Scourer+ cannon, the Tsar is a formidable rolling bulk whose impressive armaments are only outclassed by its sheer durability.
Deployed on Prospero's Dream in response to fears surrounding union inteference with Hygeia cleaning operations, the Tsar comes with a spree of potential upgrades for those who have the right credits. Ranging from a rubble-splitting armoured prow to an explosive final line of defence, the Tsar can be prepared for a variety of oncoming situations.
Yet while a blueprint might outline Hygeia's wrath, keen investors might want to see something a little more fleshed-out. Eager to oblige, Hygeia has provided a glimpse of the final product ready to roll off the production line any day now:
Whether used as a mass personnel and fluid transporter or as an ironclad fist against whatever horrors interrupt your janitorial duties, the Tsar is just one of Hygeia's new forays into the world of mechanised infantry.
We're very excited to bring out the remaining renders of Hygeia Automotive, all of which are currently underway thanks to the fantastic work of our designer, artist & illustrator Ed Morris. However, we have a favour to ask!
We're currently unsure if people would prefer the fully coloured render or line art style above and, in the collaborative spirit of Mothership Month, wanted to give our audience a chance to voice their opinions! Attached to this update is a poll giving you a chance to vote on which look you prefer!
Whilst unfortunately we don't have any art to show for Unions and You just yet, we can share some information about what might appear within!
Concerned about growing dissent with their presence on Prospero's Dream, Hygeia Interplanetary has published a new report for investors and shareholders - Unions and You - that covers the dangerous rebel factions growing around the Dream in conflict with their company interests. With each identified faction comes information about their forces, their motives and last but not at all least - their particular flavour of contraband.
Numerous factions now vie for control and influence against Hygeia including the Teamster inspired Thirty Seconders, the mysterious Chokeborn infospreaders under the banner of Soldat and the fanatical chem-martyrs of Aklys, all dedicated to conflicting with Hygeia in their own remarkably unique manners.
In response Hygeia Interplanetary has permitted the deployment of their own boots on the ground - the Garrison - an elite 'janitorial' squadron incorporated from the Rackford Risk Management Firm.
More information on these factions will be coming out soon with a greater update on Unions and You!
It's already looking to be one hell of a busy year but we're excited to get to work and hope to have lots more to show you very soon!
